Luis "Pipo" Derani will combine with Sharp and Dalziel for the endurance races with Bruno Senna also joining the team alongside Brown and van Overbeek for the Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen and Petit Le Mans races.

Additionally, New Zealander Brendon Hartley will drive the No.22 entry at Daytona as a fourth driver.

"The new DPi formula is quickly gaining attention and large expectations," said team owner Scott Sharp. "We are excited to take our new 2017 Ligier-Nissan to battle. We have an incredible mix of drivers for 2017. I think it is an outstanding group."
